Brief Answer:
Diabetes can give such symptom.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Such symptom is very characteristic for diabetes. Due to increased blood sugar level your body tires to eliminate it. To do that, you are "forced" to drink more liquids so kidneys can produce more urine and eliminate glucose with it.
You may have sweating, foul smelling urine.

I suggest you to consult your doctor. Glucose level, ions level, CBC, urine analysis, creatinine should be checked at first.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
